We are back in Berlin for a month long visit with our son, and while this will be a great family experience it is not going to generate any material for this journal. So there will be no more updates until after Berlin.
From Ireland we flew to Eindhoven in the Netherlands to pickup the truck from the guys at Adventure Trucks. They had serviced the chassis, repaired the camper step (much to our delight and surprise) and installed new seats in the truck cabin. The drive from Eindhoven to Berlin gave us a chance to try out the new seats and they seem like a great improvement.
